Since we started our Camp Hope ministry, in September 2005, we have been encouraged by hearing that many churches and individuals are continually praying for us. Here are a few examples: about two or three months ago, several folks from Evangelical PC in Annapolis, MD, came down to work at Camp Hope and told us that they have been holding regular prayer meetings specifically for us and our needs; also about that same time, two teams of volunteers affiliated with Word and Deed Ministries in Ontario, Canada, came down to Camp Hope and brought with them copies of church bulletins listing the needs of our congregation and of the Word and Deed magazine containing an article on FPC Gulfport and our Camp Hope ministry (a group of ambitious Canadians even helped me move into my new house!); and, just this past week, folks from McIlwain Memorial PC in Pensacola, FL (who are still recovering from the effects of 2 back-to-back hurricanes in the 2004 season), came in to Camp Hope and told us that they have a large bulletin board in their church that is dedicated to making known our needs and the progress of our recovery here.
All three groups really had no connection to our congregation before the hurricane. What an encouragement! We thank God for the support of His people from across the PCA and from around the world.
